- 10 standard just because
So, 78 is my current number I guess.
Positives: First 50 went by easier than I thought, my total is significantly higher after 99 days than prior to, 78 makes me think of my wife as she was born in 1978, I don't think I did any lasting damage to myself during the effort. Some of the lead up days I would've been surprised and happy by 78.
Negatives: WHAT?! I can't even get 80? After nearly 100 days of serious effort? Man, I suck. Right wrist hurts, but that did not affect the total as that wasn't what gave out...believe my chest gave out first, though arms and posture were vying for the title of first quitter. The hundredpushups.com program is overly optimistic in thinking that in 6 weeks people can reach 100. I really thought I'd get between 81-87. Those 3 more it would've taken to get to 81 were Avagadro's number away. Questioning whether my warm up was sound? Should I have tapered more? Less?
So, now what? Still thinking about that. Until I figure that out I'd like to at least continue the streak and hopefully have my wrist return to a no concern status....maybe it's just a stretching thing? Though stretching it hurts, maybe that's good? Whatever, I'll continue to post and we'll all see...all 2 of us, Craig.
Cumulative total: 8158
Your initial test before day 1 resulted in 48 push-ups, so 78 push-ups means you're more than halfway to your goal of 100. However, Chad commented that he did 79 push-ups, so there's that to consider.
ReplyDeleteCMB, you are a great motivator. It is somewhat amazing that I don't hate you for it...presently I am choosing to hate Chad for it actually.
